MiVoice Office 250 Installation and Administration Guide

Network-Wide Alarms

To allow one administrator to monitor multiple nodes, the system provides both system alarms and
network-wide alarms:
• Network-Wide Alarms: When an event occurs that generates a network-wide alarm, the alarm
is broadcast to every node in the system.
• System Alarms: System alarms appear only on the node on which the alarm was generated.

Sending and Receiving Network Alarms

Each node has two system flags that determine whether the node broadcasts or receives
network-wide alarms.
• The Send Network Alarms flag determines whether a node will broadcast alarms that occur
on that node to the rest of the network.
The Receive Network Alarms flag determines whether the node will receive and display alarms
•
sent by other nodes in the network.
To differentiate between network-wide and local alarms, network-wide alarms appear on
administrator phones preceded by "NET ALARM" and local system alarms are preceded with "SYS
ALARM."
On remote nodes, network-wide alarms will indicate the name of the node on which the alarm
occurred. The node name is obtained from the node username.

Clearing Network Alarms

An administrator can clear a network-wide alarm on the local node only or on every node in the
network.
• Clear Network Alarm (9851): This feature code clears network-wide alarms on every node in
the network, but will not affect system alarms. The Clear Network Alarm feature code may be
entered on any node in the network, but the Send Network Alarms flag must be set for the
administrator to clear alarms on other nodes in the network.
• Clear System Alarm (9850): This feature code clears all local and network-wide system alarm
displays on your node.
Network-wide alarms will override system alarms on an administrator's display phone.
